Hindsight's gif just made me sneeze iced tea into my sinuses.

Reserves are a bargain. I think I might clear $15k a year from the reserves (we are currently just getting 48 drills, and 14 days AT and not a drill more here) but the Navy has a qualified E-2 pilot, who can also fly helicopters, and is current in the C-12 (day job).

I wish we (Navy Reserves) would stop slashing units/billets within units. VAW-77 (the only E-2C reserve unit in the country) shut down just as I was leaving active duty.

The non flying unit I'm in now (TACRON) just slashed about 1/3 of the billets while "Big Reserves" scream we are undermanned. I've tried to get ATP/RMPs for my underemployed guys, and there are none to be had.
